Powering on the Base Station

Unlike most other DJI products, the RTK Base Station powers on with a simple "Hold" action. To power on, simply press and hold the middle power button for 3 seconds, or until you hear the fan running.

Changing Modes

The Base Station operates in 5 different modes, which are indicated by the number of flashes in a sequence from the right-hand light.

To connect with the Agras T10, T30, T20P, T40, T25, T50, or M3M, ensure the Base Station is set to Mode 5.

To switch modes:

  1. Long press the Mode button (M) for 2 seconds to begin mode-switching (indicator light will change from green to yellow).

  2. Short press the Mode button (M) to switch between modes (the current mode can be identified based on blinks). Expect a 2-second delay for the new mode to activate, and the indicator light will change from yellow to green.

  3. If no action is taken after Step 1, the Base Station will remain in the original mode.


Linking To RC

Connecting Drone To Base Station

  1. Under Device Management, click on "D-RTK 2 Mobile Station."

  2. Click on the green "Linking" button, and you'll see your Base Station appear. Typically, your Base Station is named "RTK," but it may have a different name. Once you select it, a blue checkmark will appear next to the name.

Turning on RTK in Drone Settings

  1. Go to Drone Settings (top right-hand corner gear icon).

  2. Navigate to the RTK tab.

  3. Under "RTK Signal Source," click on "D-RTK 2 Mobile Station."

Once the drone and Base Station are connected, you can view information under the RTK tab, including the number of satellites the Base Station is receiving, as well as its battery percentage and temperature.

Tip: Set the "Low Battery Warning" to a suitable level so that you will receive alerts when the battery is running low

Note: Sometimes, when a battery swap is necessary for the RTK Base Station, you may need to power cycle the drone once the Base Station acquires a satellite signal
